Foxy Sail's Pretty Tail

What are you doing right now? You...who were always on the move Or sleeping beautiful on my arm You are a soft fox, sweet, and haunted You are my dreamy fox, curling in her burrow, dreaming of princes You chat happily and unafraid of the English in my arms You, who named her young after the prey you raised them on You, with her bloody muzzle that snapped at the moon's reflection in the water Leaving a wake of blood and questions Do hunters prove you are worth while? They'll put bullets into you  to take your life But they can only take you dead  They will be confused and mourn their loss And they will load their guns again
